Bacon-Wrapped Scallops with Maple Glaze

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bacon-Wrapped Scallops with Maple Glaze.

1. Step 1

   In a glass or ceramic bowl, combine maple syrup, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard, whisking until the mixture is harmonious.

2. Step 2

   Gently add the halved scallops, tossing them to ensure a thorough coating in the marinade.

3. Step 3

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

4. Step 4

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil for effortless cleanup.

5. Step 5

   Lay the bacon strips in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap.

6. Step 6

   Bake in the preheated oven for about eight minutes, just until the bacon has released some grease but remains soft and pliable.

7. Step 7

   Once done, remove the bacon and let it drain on paper towels, discarding any excess grease from the baking sheet.

8. Step 8

   Take each scallop half and wrap it snugly with a halved strip of bacon, securing it with a toothpick.

9. Step 9

   Arrange the wrapped scallops on the baking sheet and sprinkle them with brown sugar to enhance their sweetness.

10. Step 10

    Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional ten to fifteen minutes, or until the scallops turn opaque and the bacon crisps up, turning them once for even cooking.

    Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in every bite!.
